_{I'm drowning in the sea
of my own regret.
Falling down…down…
deeper than I knew I could sink.

In my brief time above the surface,
I saw no one.
No boats come to save me,
no helicopter rescue.

I have to wonder (you would, too):
Does anyone even care?}

Lost Song

I used to think myself grand in the face of the abstract. I thought myself a poet, a knitter of words which together would create something like music to the eyes, drumming its rhythm in time with heartbeats and telling stories of love that almost was—of heartbreak that was very real at the time, and of thoughts that then seemed profound but—looking back—are laughable. And I missed the words. They always seemed one step (or several steps—perhaps miles) ahead of me, and I wanted to run after them, to delve into their secrets and wade in their meanings. Alas, I was not worthy then, nor now, and whether or not I can eve

If Ever I Lost You

What weighs on your mind? What's taking up your time? You tell me not to worry and you swear you're really fine Please open up to me Tell me of your fears You know I'll kiss the scars and I'll wipe away your tears Don't keep it to yourself You know you're not alone I couldn't live my life without you ever coming home I'd be so lost inside I wouldn't recognize The person that I see in the reflection of your eyes Just tell me you're okay, and that you love me too I don't know what I'd do If ever I lost you…

Lost

Lost in an empty world without a meaning that makes sense Lost in a filled world that has a message I don't understand Lost in a shadowed world without any light to guide me out Lost in a heartless world where emotion is gone since our farewell Lost in a cold world where your heart is beyond my reach Lost in a world where I have to miss the only one worth living for

Lost

I have a dream that I'm running. I feel the wind in my hair And, if just for a moment, I forget that you're there. There's no one. I'm alone And left to my thoughts, So I start with scheming and making up plots. I see a life that I long for too much. I see the things that I use as a crutch. I see all my flaws, but I see yours too And I see that there isn't much more I can do. Dependant and hopeless I start to slow down, You would not believe the weight of my crown, Though as hard as I try I can not take it off. I cry to myself, in search of an answer But I choke on the tears; they make me cough. Repeatedly screaming the exac

Words to Emotion

I wish I could tell you I was doing okay the words and emotions would be one in the same I want to smile and feel the happiness rush through me what a world it would be if my emotions followed the words that I wished them to be.

Broken

I'm not broken, Just a little bent. All those words you've spoken, Just left me a little dent. My heart isn't shattered, It just has a crack. Sore, bruised, and battered, But my tears I hold back. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine, I swear. I just want you to see, That I'm still able to be repaired. Even though I'm hurt, damaged, and weakened, Even though I've felt so much pain. It doesn't mean I'm truly beaten, It just means that I'll need a little help again.

i drank the poison from your lips, i dug my fingers in the cracks between your ribs, held tight: a living vice and prayed that we would last the night. (but we suffocated in the cages of our bed covers, cold like the surface of the moon.)

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

_{It's been a long day...
long week...
long month...
the start to another long year...

And this is what happens when someone bends me - not to a breaking point, but now I'm misshapen to that bend... unable to tell if I have the strength to straighten myself.

Anyway, enjoy!
